Preston felt the pores on his back instantly expanding and cold sweat profusely gushing out of them.

William witnessed everything from the side, and apart from utter astonishment, all that remained in his heart was a bunch of complicated emotions that he couldn't put into words.
He thought of the times that he had lashed out at Lucas and called him a freeloading good-for-nothing when Lucas had just returned to Orange County a few months ago. Back then, he had even berated Lucas for being a disgrace to the Carters and even wanted him to divorce Cheyenne.
